Mining shuttles now take 1 second to depart and 1 second to arrive

Why is this good for the game?

Optimally, station & planet z-level would be one in the same, but this is a step closer. By making transit incredibly fast, planetside becomes a lot less exclusive. Inspired by IceMeta's ladder

Testing

It goes fast

A space elevator instead of a shuttle would be cool

you are want mapping? can do maybe

[AMyriad]

Map code is fine.

I'm on the fence about this since the wait gives some much needed reprieve, and mining is usually pretty fast paced. Worst case scenario people don't like it and we revert it, so sure.

im not overly a big fan, ganking people on the shuttle should remain a viable option

also it might not be a good idea for balance because this means you have the hypersonic ling gibber 90000 and it gives very little time to get out of the way of the LZ should you be passing under it as it lands

putting lings on an office chair (of which one spawns directly next to the mining shuttle) negates any ability to escape in the first place so i dont see this as a major loss, lings have way bigger problems than shuttle speed right now

Having only one second to get out of the way is going to get a lot of people gibbed by accident.

Don't stand in the area clearly marked by danger lines
